EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Preston Bus Station in all its architectural glory. Standing proudly on Tithebarrn Street, this post-war marvel showcases the raw beauty of brutalist style at its finest. The west elevation is showcased here, with a mesmerizing display of buses gracefully parked in their designated bays within the station. Photographed by Alun Bull in April 2011, this image perfectly encapsulates the timeless appeal and significance of this concrete masterpiece. Its listing as Grade II only further emphasizes its historical importance and architectural value. The sheer scale and imposing presence of Preston Bus Station are evident in every detail captured by Bull's lens. The clean lines, geometric shapes, and robust materials used exemplify the essence of brutalism while also paying homage to an era marked by resilience and innovation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when modernity was embraced with open arms. It serves as a reminder that architecture can be more than just functional; it can be an expression of artistry that stands the test of time. Alun Bull's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the intricate details that make up this remarkable structure. This print is a testament to both his talent behind the camera lens and Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich architectural heritage for generations to come.
